Ask Katy: Career Setbacks, First 90 Days, and Escaping the "Second Job Trap"

Feeling stuck after a career setback? Drowning in your first 90 days? In this Ask Katy episode, I tackle your burning questions about bouncing back from disappointment, mastering your first 90 days, and escaping the "second job trap" that's keeping you from promotion. Plus, DM me if you have a coaching question you'd like answered!

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• A four-step framework to overcome career disappointments without losing your motivation (including when it's actually okay to wallow!)
• My proven 30-60-90 day roadmap for excelling in a new leadership role—including what to prioritize and when to make strategic changes
• How to escape the "second job trap" that's burning you out and blocking your promotion (with a practical task audit method)
• Why women are 30% more likely to take on non-promotable tasks and how to break this pattern
• The counterintuitive leadership approach that impressed senior executives when I stepped into VP and EVP roles

Remember, your career is not your whole life—and sometimes the best way to advance is to do less, not more.
